Arabic Abstract

تقدم هذه الأطروحة دراسة لتصوير الوطنية والشجاعة وعلاقة الحب والصداقة في رواياتي إرنست همنغواي "وداع السلاح" و "العجوز والبحر".

وبالاعتماد على المنهج التحليلي الوصفي والاستفادة من أفكار ذات صلة بالوجودية وبالاستفادة من مفهوم الجيل الضائع وجدت الأطروحة أن همنغواي يسعى لتقديم تمثيل واقعي للحياة بعد الحرب العالمية الأولى والحرب العالمية الثانية.

ويحاول تصوير التدهور الأخلاقي الذي نتج عن الحرب العالمية الأولى من خلال شخصيات الروايتين.

ومع ذلك فهو يقدم شخصيات قادرة على التمسك بالقيم والأخلاق مثل حب الوطن والحب والعلاقات الجيدة.

وتبين الأطروحة أن مثل هذه التمثيلات تهدف إلى عكس رؤية المؤلف عن الأمل في حياة أفضل.

English Abstract

This thesis explores representations of the themes of patriotism, courage and relationships in Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms and The Old Man and The Sea.

It furthermore, examines the similarities and the differences between how each novel depicts each theme.

Drawing upon both a descriptive-analytical approach and making use of some notions of existentialism as well as the concept of “the lost generation”, the thesis finds that Hemingway endeavors to provide a realist representation of life following World War I and World War II.

Moreover, he tries to depict the moral decline that followed the two wars through his characters.

Nevertheless, Hemingway provides characters who are able to cling to human values such as patriotism, love, friendship, and courage despite all the hardships that resulted from the WWI and WWI.

Such representations, the thesis argues, are meant to reflect the author’s glimpse of hope for a better life.
